Flats Fest 2024 Recap

Our final community event in the Summer Event Series, Flats Fest, took place in South Flats on Saturday, September 7th. The day truly had something for everyone:

  • The Kids’ Zone featured a climbing wall, face painting, cotton candy, craft tables, and a stage with a rotating lineup of entertainment!
  • The Innovation Zone was a new addition to the event this year. We collaborated with the Centre for Digital Media, Vancouver Community College, DigiBC, and several creative companies working in South Flats to bring it together. From VR experiences to educational displays on emerging technology, this zone was both informative and exciting!
  • Talented local musicians performed all day at the Main Stage in the South Flats Plaza. Attendees could grab a drink from the nearby bar and enjoy performances from ZADA, Michaela Slinger, Mauvey, and more.
  • Shopping opportunities were endless at the Artisan Market and Student Marketplace along the spine. Attendees could shop from local small business as well as students and alumni from Emily Carr University and Centre for Digital Media.

We were so excited to see so many families enjoying themselves in South Flats on the day of the event!

A big thank you to all the businesses, performers, artists, and community members who collaborated to make the Summer Event Series possible, and to everyone who attended! A special thank you to PCI Developments for sponsoring the event. It is the incredible teamwork and community spirit that make each event unique. We hope to see you at our events next year!
